(a) Objective. Development or use of land in the Village of Mount Gilead should not significantly increase or create glare caused by exterior lighting.
(b) Standards.
(1) The provisions of the Zoning Ordinance shall be used in determining compliance with these Good Neighbor Standards, however, a violation of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance shall be cited solely under the Zoning Ordinance.
(2) Outdoor lighting shall be controlled in both height and intensity to maintain the Village’s rural character. Therefore, no land use or establishment shall be permitted to produce a strong, dazzling light or reflection of that light beyond its lot lines onto neighboring properties, or onto any Village road or State highway so as to impair the vision of the driver of any vehicle upon that town way. To achieve this, luminaries shall be shielded to prevent light shining beyond the lot lines into neighboring properties or public ways.
